Thanks for the help. i am planning on starting with android but eventually hope to develop for Android, Apple , Windows or whatever else is out there. i have been learning c# but now i'm looking at phone app development

Yeah, xamarin is what they were talking about. Microsoft just bought them. It was a free download but i'm not sure if its the same as full blown xamarin that you have to pay for. I am pretty much a newbie when it comes to android or dot net programming. I am trying to teach myself these things.

You can always use eclipse if you want with the android sdk. On Visual Studio, since they don't support java (at least not right out of the install package), I think you will have to go on the hunt for additional resources. There is also the paid tool xarmin which makes use of visual studio to develop for Android.

Thanks for creating these videos Bucky. I'm learning programming, Web Design & Networking & these videos are a big Help. You are also quite entertaining so they are fun to watch. I want to become a freelance programmer & possibly do Web Design & Networking too. I need to get a web server going & create a web page for a company that i am starting & your videos are a big help. Thanks again. p.s. i've tried to upload a profile photo like 3 times with no success. I'm trying from my local computer do i need to upload this from a ftp site? The error says we can not find your image.
